ENSPIRE spoke with Brandon Corder about his brand Beats x Beers and his background in music.
How did you get started in the entertainment industry?
My introduction to the entertainment industry was producing music. I started at 12 years of age and started taking it seriously around the age of 18. I produced music for Curren$y, Big K.R.I.T., VH1, MTV, et cetera. From producing music, I gained a lot of relationships with artists, companies, music executives, and influencers. I transitioned from being a music producer to building my own brand, Beats x Beers. The previous relationships I built as a producer made the transition easier.
How did you know that music was your passion in life?
I never saw myself working in another industry. Whether it was as a producer, event curator, or any other side of the entertainment industry, it was the only thing I dreamt of doing and the only thing that didn’t feel like a “job.”
What motivated you to start Beats x Beers?
I always wanted my own platform. I never wanted to just be a music producer. I realized very early that I had a passion for creating these experiences, and I enjoyed marketing as well. I combined the two passions and created this platform that now has legs of its own.
